A Ray of Hope
A speckle of green,
In a vast sea of concrete,
Quite an enchanting scene,
To the eyes a visual treat.
Through a crack in the pavement,
Slowly rises a tiny weed,
Free from all enslavement,
One in a million of its breed.
When I saw it,
My eyes filled with wonder,
Rising tiny bit by bit,
Through the cracked concrete yonder.
Insignificant to many,
Astonishing to me,
That it had arisen from such a narrow cranny,
Struggling to be free.
Symbolising a ray of hope,
In the midst of today's world,
Fighting for survival and trying to cope,
Was a plant which had unfurled.
